Here are lists of all the fruits considered edible in some cuisine. Note that many true fruits are considered to be vegetables in the culinary sense (for example, the tomato), and hence do not appear in this article. There exist also many fruits that are edible but for various reasons have not become popular.
Temperate fruits
Fruits of temperate climates are almost universally borne on trees or woody shrubs or lianas. They will not grow adequately in the tropics, as they need a period of cold (a chilling requirement) each year before they will flower. The apple, pear, cherry, and plum are the most widely grown and eaten, owing to their adaptability. Many other fruits are important regionally but do not figure prominently in commerce. Many sorts of small fruit on this list are gathered from the wild, just as they were in Neolithic times.
The Family Rosaceae dominates the temperate fruits, both in numbers and in importance. The pome fruits, stone fruits, brambles, and strawberry are all members of Rosaceae.
The pome fruits:
The stone fruits, drupes of genus Prunus:
- Apple and crabapple (Malus pumila)
- Chokeberry (Aronia spp.)
- Haw, the fruit of the hawthorn
- Juneberry or saskatoon
- Medlar
- Pear, European and Asian species (Pyrus communis)
- Quince (genus Cydonia)
- Rowan or mountain ash
- Sorb or sorb apple, the fruit of the service tree
In non-technical usage, berry means any small fruit that can be eaten whole and lacks objectionable seeds. The bramble fruits, compound fruits of genus Rubus, are some of the most popular pseudo-berries:
- Apricot
- Cherry, sweet, sour, and wild species (Prunus avium)
- Plum, of which there are several domestic and wild species; dried plums are called prunes
- Peach and its variant the nectarine (Prunus persica)
- Hybrids of the preceding species, such as the pluot
The true berries are dominated by the family Ericaceae, many of which are hardy in the subarctic:
- Blackberry, of which there are many species and hybrids, such as dewberry, boysenberry, and loganberry
- Raspberry, several species (genus Rubus)
- Cloudberry
- Wineberry
Other berries (not in Ericaceae):
- Bearberry
- Bilberry or whortleberry
- Blueberry
- Cranberry (Vaccinium)
- Crowberry
- Huckleberry
- Lingonberry
Some fruits native to Asia that were not common elsewhere until the 20th century:
- Barberry
- Currant (Ribes spp.), red, black, and white types
- Elderberry
- Gooseberry
- Honeysuckle: the berries of some species (called honeyberries) are edible, others are poisonous
- Nannyberry or sheepberry (Viburnum spp.)
- Seaberry or sea buckthorn
Some tree fruits native to North America that are eaten in a small way:
- Cornelian cherry
- Goumi
- Jujube
- Kiwi fruit or Chinese gooseberry (Actinidium)
- Loquat
- Kumquat
- Persimmon, Diospyros kaki
Several cacti yield edible fruits, which are important traditional foods for some Native American peoples:
- Buffaloberry (Shepherdia argenta), which grows wild in the prairies of Canada
- Chokeberry (Aronia spp.)
- Juneberry or saskatoon, which is cultivated in Canada
- Pawpaw
- Persimmon, Diospyros virginiana
Some exceptions to the statement that temperate fruits grow on woody perennials are:
- Prickly pear
- Saguaro
The false fruits are not botanically fruits at all but are used as fruits in the kitchen:
- Melon (Cucumis melo): cantaloupe and other muskmelons, honeydew
- Sunberry or wonderberry (Solanum spp.)
- Watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris)
- Rhubarb
- Strawberry (Frigaria spp.)
Mediterranean and subtropical fruits
Fruits in this category are not hardy to extreme cold, as the preceding temperate fruits are, yet tolerate some frost and may have a modest chilling requirement. Notable among these are natives of the Mediterranean:
In the important genus Citrus some members are tropical, tolerating no frost. All common species of commerce are somewhat hardy:
- Fig (Ficus spp.)
- Grape, called raisin, sultana, or currant when dried (Vitis)
- Pomegranate
- Date (Phoenix dactylifera)
- Mulberry
Other subtropical fruits:
- Citron
- Grapefruit and its predecesor the pummelo (also known as the shaddock)
- Key Lime
- Lemon
- Lime (an important hybrid of the Key Lime and the Citron)
- Mandarin, clementine, tangelo, tangerine, and similar
- Orange, of which there are sweet and sour species
- Ugli fruit, a hybrid
- Guava (Psidium guajava)
- Longan (Euphoria longan)
- Lychee (Litchi chinensis)
- Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis)
Tropical fruits
Tropical fruit grow on plants of all habits. The only characteristic that they share is an intolerance of frost.
- Akee (Blighia sapida))
- Banana and its starchy variant the plantain (Musacea spp.)
- Breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis)
- CamuCamu (Myrciaria dubia))
- Carambola (Averrhoa carambola), also called star fruit
- Cempedak (Artocarpus champeden)
- Custard apple (Annona cherimola), also called cherimoya
- Coconut (Cocos spp.)
- Durian (Durio zibethinus)
- Guarana (Paullinia cupana))
- Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), also called nangka
- Langsat (Lansium domesticum), also called longkong or duku

- Mango (Mangifera indica)
- Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana)
- Papaya (Carica papaya)
- Pineapple (Ananas comosus)

The walls of the digestive tract have four layers of tissue: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa. The inner-most layer is the mucosa, a membrane that forms a continuous lining of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus. In the large bowel, this tissue contains cells that produce mucus to lubricate and protect the smooth inner surface of the bowel wall. Connective tissue and muscle separate the muscosa from the second layer, the submucosa, which contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves and mucus-producing glands. Next to the submucosa is the muscularis externa, consisting of two layers of muscle fibers-one that runs lengthwise and one that encircles the bowel. The fourth layer, the serosa, is a thin membrane that produces fluid to lubricate the outer surface of the bowel so that it can slide against adjacent organs.
